Did you get this email? Google sent everyone this email last week about a new setting. And most people either missed it or had no idea what it meant. Here's what it does, how to turn it off in 20 seconds. I'm Kaylen, I'm a cybersecurity and data protection expert and I want to help you protect yourself against Google. Let's go. Think about what you've actually used a lens for. A weird rash, a pill, a document, something personal, a receipt. That's what's going in by default. And Google says that their data eventually gets stripped of your identity once it's used for training. But they don't say when, and the collection is already happening. So here's how on your phone or computer go to myactivity.google.com/activitycontrols. If you see a section called "SEARCH SERVICES HISTORY" tap in and turn off save media. If that section isn't there yet, which is most people because it's gradually rolling out gradually, go to "WEB AND APP ACTIVITY" and uncheck "VOICE AUDIO AND VISUAL SEARCH HISTORY" as a stopgate. Then set a reminder on your phone to go back in and confirm "SEARCH SERVICES HISTORY" toggle is off once it appears. Be sure to save this so you know what to do again. Send this to someone who uses Google Lens or voice search and follow Cybersecurity Girl for more simple cyber and privacy tips. Stay safe out there.
